6.  The applicant was born in 1962 and lives in Shchekino, Tula Region.
7.  The applicant retired from military service in 1993 and became entitled to obtain a permanent housing funded by the State. Following the State’s failure to comply with this obligation voluntarily, on 19 October 1998 the Shchekinskiy District Court of the Tula Region (“the District Court”) granted the applicant’s action against the Tula Regional Administration and awarded him 143,100 Russian roubles (RUB) for purchasing a flat.
8.  On 2 March 1999 the Tula Regional Court supplemented the judgment of 19 October 1998, noting that the judgment award should be paid from the federal funds.
9.  Enforcement proceedings were instituted and the applicant submitted a writ of execution to the Tula Regional Department of the Federal Treasury.
10.  On 7 March 2002 the applicant received a letter from the Tula Regional Department of the Ministry of Justice informing him that the judgment of 19 October 1998, as amended on 2 March 1999, could not be enforced because the Tula Regional Administration did not have the necessary funds to do it. He received a number of similar letters in 2003 and 2004.
11.  Following communication of the applicant’s case and its subsequent remittal to the Government for resolution in accordance with the Burdov (no. 2) pilot judgment cited above, the Ministry of Finance of Russia applied to the trial court seeking modification of the method and order of enforcement of the judgment. Its request was granted on 6 September 2010 by the District Court which ordered that the Ministry of Finance credit RUB 143,100 to the account of the Tula Regional Administration, which should in turn pay this amount to the applicant.
12.  By a decision of 18 November 2010 the Tula Regional Court upheld that judgment on appeal.
13.  The applicant lodged a new claim to the court seeking increase of the original award to cover the inflation losses and compensation of non‑pecuniary damage inflicted as a result of lengthy non-enforcement of the judgment.
14.  On 27 October 2010 the Tsentralniy District Court of Tula relied on Article 1069 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Russia and awarded the applicant RUB 1,601,208 instead of the original amount to cover pecuniary damage. It also rejected the rest of his claim.
15.  However, by a decision of 23 December 2010 the Tula Regional Court reversed the first-instance judgment. The appeal court found that Article 1069 was inapplicable to the applicant’s case and noted that the situation rather warranted application of Article 208 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which provides for index-linking of the original awards. At the same time, the Regional Court relied on the Compensation Act (Law No. 68-ФЗ of 30 April 2010) and awarded the applicant RUB 50,000 (approximately 1,200 euros (EUR)) for non‑pecuniary damage resulted from lengthy non-enforcement. It is not clear whether the applicant has been paid this amount.
16.  By a letter of 28 February 2011 the Tula Regional Administration requested that the applicant communicate his bank account details to enable payment of the original award constituting RUB 143,100. To date the applicant has refused to comply with this request arguing that the original award had depreciated and was no longer sufficient to purchase a flat.
17.  The judgment of 19 October 1998, as amended on 2 March 1999, remains unenforced.
